Krishna's throat constricted at his words. She had known, in a way, that this was always going to be the turning point. This instant where their ways either parted forever or warped together again was inevitable. The part of her which had kept him at arm's length, the part which had entombed her own feelings deep within herself, struggled with the escalating sense of yearning within her."I know," she replied softly, so softly one had to strain to hear her above the howling of the wind. She shifted her face, as if she could turn away from him, but the force of his being held her frozen in place. "I don't want to hurt you, Ignatius. I don't want to be the one to pull you into my muck." She exhaled, the burden of all her words and feelings too much to handle. "But if I ever. if we ever." She trailed off, not quite sure how to complete that sentence. The future seemed too unsure, too breakable, and she was afraid of the chance to shatter everything between them."I don't want you waiting

"Let's see what we can create," Krishna whispered to herself, but Ignatius caught it, and something in him awakened, lighter now than it had been in years."Anyway, Krishna, do you still love Miyal?" Ignatius declared with a weary heart, for he loved Krishna so dearly.The question lay there, delicate yet sharp, still wind whispering a quiet tremor. Krishna's breath was caught, and for a short, suspended moment, time stretched, pulling them back into memories they had long buried.She shifted slowly to turn to him, the heat of the sun on her skin, but his words weighted on her like a stone against her chest. There had been something raw, something vulnerable in Ignatius's voice when he spoke them, and it shocked her, caught her off balance in ways she had not expected. The vulnerability in his eyes, the unspoken admission, was a gift, a fragile, breakable thing.For an instant, Krishna's eyes softened, and her thoughts danced back to the past, to those times when Miyal had been more t

Krishna looked at Ignatius again, the tiniest suggestion of a smile at the edge of her mouth. There was no ideal solution to the road ahead, no mighty answer that would erase the pain, the loss, the fear. But at this moment, in the stillness of the courtyard with the sound of laughter from children, there was a sense of something perhaps hope, perhaps just the start of something different.Their village still wore the wounds of its struggles, the scars of wars lost and won, of promises broken and remade. Yet there were indications of healing tiny, fragile shoots of life springing forth from the ground, even in the shade of all that had been lost."Do you think they'll succeed?" Ignatius asked, his voice gentle as he watched the children, the words lingering in the air like a challenge.Krishna looked where he did, watching how the children approached the world, how they clutched at life with hands still pure and unencumbered by what had existed previously. She did not have to think fo

The breeze also appeared to be bearing their silent thoughts as it blew softly through the leaves, the soft rustle a muted sound track to the weight that now hung between them. Neither of them spoke for a bit, and the world outside them also seemed to wait, waiting perhaps for them to discover a way on, perhaps for them to embrace the silence that had been their own language.Krishna breathed slowly, allowing the gravitas of what she was saying settle in the air between them. It was odd, this feeling of being suspended between two realities, between the destruction of what they had lost and the promise of what was to be had. She was a woman always to have held on to hope, however frail it might be, but there was something different between Ignatius's eyes now a change that resonated through her own turmoil."You know," she said finally, her voice softer now, "we can just keep looking ahead, keep working on trying to rebuild, but we can't forget the cost we've paid. The ones we've lost

Her gaze lifted and she saw Ignatius moving through the small courtyard. He was heading in her direction, taking long purposeful strides, but there was something in his eyes that was weary and drawn, and it at once caught her attention. She had not set eyes on him for a long while, and his sudden arrival raised her interest.The boys' chatter quieted as they spotted him, and Krishna caught their eye, nodding gently to allow them to return to work. They knew who Ignatius was the former Luna, the now great one who had walked beside her during the darkest of the plagues and wars. But now he was just another piece of Brunschière, another lost spirit searching for purpose in the destruction that was their world.When Ignatius finally stood before her, there was a silence. His usual authoritative demeanor was subdued somewhat, and Krishna couldn't help but smile, a teasing glint in her eyes."Where have you been, Ignatius?" she said, her voice light and playful. "We need you here, you know.

Miyal's eyes burned from the poison of Ignatius's words, but they were not sufficient to shatter him. Not yet. Miyal did not know what it was about Ignatius's calm, measured voice that unsettled him. It was not that Ignatius was wrong. He was right, and Miyal had been denying, even avoiding, it for too long.But would he just release Krishna? Let her slip through his fingers and not try to grab hold of her one last time? Not let her know that he had transformed, that he was no longer the same man, that he had changed?Ignatius, Miyal's voice was harsh, but his will remained unbroken, "I know you think you see. But you don't. Krishna's different from the others. I won't I can't let her go like that. Not when there's hope."."Chasing ghosts will not save the Citadel, Miyal." Ignatius's voice was stern, but there was sorrow to it, as if he mourned something lost too. "You can't bring someone back to something they've left behind."The two men stood silently, the weight of the city's brok
